  1. The amazing thing about apple is, when they bring out a new hardware everyone goes,"Oh I've been dying for something like that!". Apple does it again with the new Magic Mouse. Retaining the two button format, this mouse also functions like the trackball, it has touch functionalities. Instead of rolling that wheel, you just touch and drag. The whole mouse is touch sensitive and the possibilities are endless as to how it can be utilized to your best advantage....maybe even as a free hand drawing tool? Who knows. As always, it looks gorgeous.
  2. Here you go, the link to the original report: http://www.irinnews.org/news/2009/10/01/twenty-cities-most-vulnerable-storm-surges-sea-level-rises
  3. According to a latest climate change report, these twenty cities are likely to experience catastrophic consequences of climate change. Be warned if you're living in any one of them.
  4. Some of the distros are geared towards specific task-flows. i.e. Ubuntu Studio is totally focused on the creation of multimedia content. Some are more lightweight, some are web based. I heard there's a distro named goobuntu, used specifically by google employees internally. The upcoming chrome OS is going to built on that.
  5. No way man. IE is the worst browser out there. Ony reason it's the market leader because it's a bundled software.
  6. Forget Vista, unless you're a die hard big time fan of dreamscene (Dunno why someone would want a fluttering butterfly in their face 24/7...), windows 7 is the way to go!!!!!!
  7. As long as there's windows, no one other than microsoft, can be the 'new microsoft...
  8. Free Download Manager. It's simply amazing. Completely free, it has youtube download options, a helpful community that warns you if any download you're attempting is malicious and very easy to use. It also has very powerful options like auto batch downloads and downloading specific file type from a site, site explorer and site leecher.I have tried every downloader out there, and think FDM's the best.
  9. Ubuntu Studio, Firefox, Opera, Avira and Super video decoder.
  10. Gotta be homer man........bugs bunny is a distant 2nd.
  11. If you're talking about an exclusive car, my dream car always has been a '97 McLaren F1 GTR road car convert, with a monotone carbon fiber body.....sigh...For a regular production sedan, I would kill for a Skyline GT-R or a '96 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4.....without modding, please. I'd much rather go for a sleeper.....
  12. Try super video converter. It's completely free, and IMHO, the best converter out there.
  13. This looks like a really cool application. But the payment bit sux. Something this lightweight ought to be free.
  14. I do believe there are other life forms somewhere other than earth. Why not? But I don't really believe that we have already made contact. All those Daniken crap is not only utter hogwash but also extremely disrespectful to the astounding effort and creativity of our ancestors. C'mon, let's be serious, a being that has traveled light years to be here, first thing it'd do is to announce itself. There are too many similarities between UFO and ghost stories. Why should an alien being present itself only to weed addled conspiracy theorists, in the middle of the night and in the remotest locations?
  15. I hate the Total War series.......abominably slow!!!! Nothing compares to strategy games from blizzard.
  16. Dude, are you serious??!! WC3 is like among the greatest strategy games ever!! If you serious think it sux, you either didn't give it enough time (Although it's pretty edictive within the first 10 mins....) or strategy just isn't your genre.
  17. I tried to switch to linux but it was a lost cause. Though I dug the coolness of Ubuntu, esp Ubuntu studio, nothing beats windows. No other OS remotely compares, when i comes to user friendliness and most of all, software titles!!! Dude, I can't live without Photoshop and my games!!! And if you think gimp is better than PS.....you're just kidding yourself.Off all the windows incarnations, I love XP x64 best. I ALso love the new Windows 7 x64.
  18. I used both and both of them are crap. Norton's too much of a system hog and nod32 did nothing to stop my pc getting infected by trojans.
  19. Kaspersky is great, one of the best out there....but I do believe that AVG and Avira, the free ones, are just as good. I have used all of them for an extensive period of time and the free products kept my pc just as squeaky clean as kaspersky did. Although AVG can hog processor time, avira is really lightweight so that's my current favorite.BTW, nod32 is utter crap. I tried it out twice, just to give it a benefit of doubt, both times my pc was infected with multiple trojans.
  20. The technique's pretty easy actually, if you ever want to try out. Just boost up the shutter speed, somewhere between 30 secs to 1 min. Within that time, during a thunderstorm, multiple lightning flashes are bound to occur.
  21. Exactly. If only Opera had the plugins, I would've switched instantly.
  22. One of the most brilliant games I ever played, and I am an avid gamer. Few games I played were so immersive and exciting at the same time!! From melting super mutant brutes to lobbing a mini nuke on the underground cannibals..........it was a grand tour!!! Are there any other fans?
  23. At last the grand evil design of the church of the spaghetti monster comes to light...........!!!!
  24. Empire earth was a really amazing strategy game. The game progression, from stone age to futuristic meca world.....was really astounding. Empire Earth 2 was also great. Empire Earth 3, is beyond crap.I can't imagine a brilliant franchise like EE could produce such a pile of steaming turd.
